Bus Ministry

Brady Wheeler, Bus Ministry Director

WHBC is blessed to offer transportation to and from church services. A group of more than 20 trained bus drivers and monitors make up our transportation team. These individuals volunteer many hours of their own time every week in order to provide transportation to those wishing to attend our church services. The mission of the WHBC bus ministry is first and foremost to glorify Jesus Christ, and to provide safe and efficient transportation to and from church services.

WHERE DO THE BUSES RUN? Routes 1, 2, 3, and 5 run in areas in and near Hallsville, picking up children and youth age students for Wednesday evening services. Route 4 is our Senior Adult Route. It picks up at various retirement homes and assisted living facilities in the city of Longview.

Riders will behave and respect the instructions of the bus driver, monitor, and adults while on the church bus and while on the church property.
